Establishing <strong>Calibration</strong> of an Electron Microprobe<br />
• Wavelength spectrometer aligned vertically (baseplate) to coincide with<br />
optical microscope focal point in z-space<br />
• Diffracting crystal aligned to be on Rol<strong>and</strong> circle<br />
• All WDS should focus on same z-axis <strong>and</strong> coincident xy area ~ 50 um in<br />
diameter<br />
• Characteristics of correct alignment<br />
All WDS & EDS have identical X-ray takeoff angle<br />
Maximum X-ray intensity at z focus position, but also require:<br />
Measure identical k-ratio within counting statistics<br />
• Simultaneous k-ratio measurement is ultimate test of alignment<br />
• Initial CMAS st<strong>and</strong>ard set used on Caltech MAC <strong>and</strong> JEOL JXA-733<br />
• Exp<strong>and</strong>ed CMASTF st<strong>and</strong>ard set used for Wash U JXA-8200<br />
